Barry Zito is a free agent for the first time since 2007 after getting a $7 million buyout from the Giants to officially end his seven-year, $126 million contract. He’s also 36 years old and coming off a 5.74 ERA, but Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com reports that Zito definitely plans to continue pitching.

However, at the moment he’s “not actively looking for a major league job” because … well, he’s busy surfing in Hawaii. “Off the Maui coastline” to be exact.

Baggarly notes that it’s possible Zito could take 2014 off “to reboot” and then attempt a comeback in 2015, but those would be some pretty long odds considering he’s teetering on the edge of not being a big league-caliber pitcher as is.

If he shows up with a glove in mid- to late March, some team will take a one-year flyer on a lefty with big league experience. He doesn’t have to endure spring training and it probably won’t affect whatever his salary will be. It’s not necessarily bad for him to wait until there’s been some attrition in spring training to test the market. If he wants to pitch in 2014 that is.
